Austin Patterson Disston Architects

Based in Norwalk, Connecticut, Austin Patterson Disston Architects creates coastal residences and residential estates characterized by fine-textured shingle siding contrasted against arched stone portals, punctuated brick rooflines, and vertical glazing revealing interior circulation. This work serves as a strong reference when detailing entry thresholds, roofline silhouettes, or glazed circulation cutouts within luxury residential living halls.
